GlossaryÒ
Channel Number
To communicate with each other, a wireless network occupies one radio
frequency. As the default setting, the KX-HGC200 is preset to
communicate using the channel 6 (2437 MHz).
Client Node
Nodes other than the Master Node in a wireless network.
Device Management dialog box
The dialog box allows you to check and change the setup parameters
written in the Flash-ROM of each KX-HGC200.
IP address
One of the Internet protocols for communicating with the other nodes. For
each wireless computer, setup of the IP address is required. Depending
on whether there is a DHCP server in your home network, how to set an
IP address for each node differs.
Master Node
As the default setting of the KX-HGC200, all the communications
performed in a wireless network are controlled by the Master Node, that is
automatically selected from wireless computers. When the Master Node is
shut down, another wireless computer replaces it automatically, so there
is no need to care about what node is the Master Node. However, it is
possible to set a wireless computer as the Master Node manually. In that
case, do not set more than two one computer as the Master Node.
Network ID
The ID that is created from the Network Name. Actually, this ID is used for
maintaining a wireless network instead of the Network Name. However,
users do not need to care what Network ID is programmed to each node.
Network Management web screen
The web screen can be viewed using Internet Explorer. In the web
screen, the information about the entire wireless network is available
using illustrations or numerical data.

Ò Glossary
Network Manager software
The Panasonic original utility software that is installed to your computer.
The software helps you maintain your wireless network using the Network
Management web screen and Device Management dialog box.
Node Name
The unique name assigned to nodes not only in wireless networks but
also in the entire home network. To view the Node Name of a wireless
node, open the Device Management dialog box. To view the Node Name
of all the wireless computers participating in a wireless network, browse
the Node Information page of the Network Management web screen.
Radio Frequency
The KX-HGC200 wireless communications can be performed using the
Radio Frequency range from 2400MHz to 2483.5MHz. However, the
KX-HGC200 is preset to use the Radio Frequency bandwidth of 2437MHz
(channel 6), which can be manually customized to 2412MHz (channel 1)
or 2462MHz (channel 11), depending on the performance of the wireless
communication.
